Where to install Unica Plan and the Unica Platform

The following diagram provides a brief overview of where to install Unica Plan. It illustrates the most basic functional installation.

You may require a more complex, disparate installation to meet your security and performance requirements.


Report installations, Platform tables, and Marketing Operations tables separate

Unica Plan: For best performance, install Unica Plan on its own machine, where no other Unica products are installed, or on a machine that it shares with only the Unica Platform.

The Unica Plan system tables should be on a separate machine.

Unica Plan reports package: The reports package for Unica Plan contains the IBM® Cognos® package only. (Other applications also have reporting schemas to configure, but Unica Plan does not.) Install the reports package on the IBM® Cognos® system.

Unica Platform: The Unica Platform application contains the common navigation, reporting, user administration, security, scheduling, and configuration management features. For each Unica environment, you must install and deploy the Unica Platform once.
